Funny

You know, I think it’s funny when you ask someone to do their job and they get mad about it. Like I just asked my co-worker to go fill the water and ice for the ice water (a shuttle driver’s job here) and he got upset!

The same thing when a parent is asked to watch their child for a half hour (they shouldn’t need to be asked anyway). I know someone who thinks that its’ an inconvenience to watch their son while their wife goes to dye her hair. That takes half hour or less these days; let’s say ten to fifteen minutes.

Not so Funny

While I was doing research fro my abuse blog, I came across a wikipedia page about a woman who stuffed her 28 day old baby daughter into a microwave and put it on for 2 minutes (at least, they think it might have been longer). That poor baby, who’d done nothing wrong, was cooked within in an inch of her life. Then the ‘woman’ who killed her got a mistrial because her oldest said that his friend did it, only to have the friend’s mother say that he wasn’t there. Thankfully the woman who murdered her daughter is in jail and serving a life sentence.

I’ve been reading up on all of these women who’d murdered their children: Andrea Yates, Susan Smith, Diane Downs, and Susan Eubanks. I don’t get it. There are all of these women who go out of their way to rid themselves of their children when there are women like me who wish to have a child so badly. Why do they do it? Are they all like Andrea Yates and mentally unstable? If they are; why didn’t someone notice?

Of course, then you have the men that kill their families. Robert Lynch, Scott Peterson, and Christian Longo are good examples. They killed because of one reason or another. What would be the point? Men want their lines to continue so why kill your kids?

People are strange and I don’t get it.
